Many people love to drink "cappuccino", but do you know why it is called cappuccino?

Cappuccino is an Italian coffee.

In the early 20th century, Italian Archipaccio invented the steam pressure coffee machine and developed cappuccino coffee.

Cappuccino is an Italian coffee that is made by mixing equal amounts of Italian espresso and steamed foam milk. The color of the coffee is like the turban that the monks of the Cappuccino Church wear over their dark brown coats, hence the name of the coffee. Traditional cappuccino is one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk and one-third foamed milk, and is sprinkled with small particles of cinnamon powder.

Cappuccino coffee tastes good, but the origin of its name is even more learned, and has always been the best material for studying the evolution of words in Europe and the United States. The history of the word Cappuccino is enough to show that a word often looks like something and is eventually extended to other meanings, far beyond the original intention of the creator. It sounds quite complicated. The monks of the Franciscan Church (Capuchin), which was founded after 1525, all wore brown robes and pointed hats. When the Franciscan Church spread to Italy, the locals thought the monks' clothing was very special, so they gave them the name Cappuccino. The Italian word refers to the loose robes and small pointed hats worn by monks, which comes from the Italian word "turban", which is Cappuccino.

However, the old man loves to drink coffee. He found that the color of espresso, milk and milk foam mixed together is like the dark brown robes worn by monks. So he suddenly came up with an idea to add milk, coffee and pointy milk foam to the drink and named it Cappuccino. The first time this word was used in English was in 1948, when a San Francisco report first introduced the cappuccino drink. It was not until after 1990 that it became a coffee drink familiar to the world. It can be said that the word Cappuccino coffee originated from the Franciscan Church (Capuchin) and the Italian cap (Cappucio). I believe that the original creator of Cappuccino never dreamed that the monk's robe would eventually become the name of a coffee drink.

Cappuccino is a variation of Italian coffee, which is made by pouring steamed milk on top of strong coffee. The color of the coffee is like the turban covering the dark brown robes of the monks of the Cappuccino Church, and the coffee got its name from this.

Cappuccino is also related to the name of a monkey. There is a small monkey in Africa with a tuft of black cone-shaped hair on its head, which looks like the small pointed hat on the Franciscan robe. Therefore, this monkey was named Capuchin. This monkey name was first used by the British in 1785.

Hundreds of years later, the word Capuchin evolved into the name of a coffee drink and a monkey, which has always been an interesting story that word scholars have talked about with relish.
